This year's installation, "CANtinue?" is based on the Sony Playstation 4 controller and console. Staying true to the gaming theme, the students envisioned each can to represent a pixel to create the overall composition. Gaming consoles of all generations have been a memorable part of individuals’ lives growing up. Games bring people together and our goal was to use this installation to bring back that sense of nostalgia while raising awareness to end hunger in Toronto. The charging status of the controller is indicated by LED lighting. The goal is to reach 100% for not only energy level, but also awareness for the cause.
Using 4224 cans, some additional dry goods and costs of tape the students (and the bonus help of a professor) were able to once again showcase Ryerson students' capacity for structurally stable design and teamwork.
